STARS Corps Practices

Recruiting students for participation in STARS can be a challenge. To begin, first identify your target audience and determine the eligibility criteria, participation requirements, and the stipends (if any) that work best in your environment. The following steps include examples from current Corps.

Identify target audience (typically includes one or more of the criteria below):

Undergraduate students

Graduate students

Juniors and seniors only

GPA requirement

Computing majors only

All majors

IMPORTANT NOTE: NSF funds can only be used to support students who are US Citizens or Permanent Residents. Please keep this in mind when recruiting students for your STARS Leadership Corps. You are permitted to include international students in the program, but you must fund their participant stipends and travel to Celebration from another source. We CANNOT use STARS Computing Corps funding for stipends or travel for students who are not US Citizens or Permanent Residents. Please monitor this carefully when selecting students.
